those are pretty flexible points, it wont make or break you taking one or the other
Rip MS and OP
No more smashing 1.3M+ MS 😦
so cleave fully instead of ms and ss in aoe? 
If it’s more than two yeah.
thats completely fine to do
all of those points dont really matter
having a higher rage cap means less overcap, though i personally only take 1 point so i can have bounding stride
Yeah, a lot of it really comes down to preference
- Frothing is technically DPS, though it's very minor
- Overwhelming isn't usually needed as Arms, but can occasionally save you some rage
- Bounding/Fast Footwork always feel nice to have, though how strictly useful they are can vary
- Int Shout is another pseudo-interrupt, but I find that low CD Shockwave + Storm Bolt is more than enough
Maxroll guide was made by Revves the legend himself
Frothing is such a joke 
So after todays arms nerfs, is fury going to overtake it for raid?
purely looking at prepatch rn
probably
It's prepatch not like it matters play what you want
and Rly overtake in M+ as well
man im quite likin the arms colossus, i know 2 sec on hold is dangerous and quite hard to master... do u think it shall be viable or im crazy and i shall proceed with slayer?
i mean on m+ scenario
it's perfectly viable; the channel is hasted so it's pretty fast in practice, and you can still use defenses or leap out of it in an emergency
ye... probably more dificult on push keys... when anything is lethal / deadly
its like an dance, if you step wrong you dead xD
if you never had issues with the leggo in push keys then you'll have less with the channel
nice to read.. its the same idea heheh channel for damdam
oh now i get it sorry, i didnt played 4th season df... never had thhe leggo
i was on classic era xD im commin back to retail now... 490ilvl
ready to get parried like a bozo because boss turned or you arent right on the back
swear to god sometimes they parry from the side even
sometimes i dream about patch notes that remove the target requirement and the root and then i wake up
ye target requirement is bad.. should be like AA or frontal cleave cone
hope its strong! i loved the 5%size increase talent ^^
servers are back up for NA 👍
Whats our overall loss with the MS + OP Nerfs?
it was actually already present in sims, since it was a beta change and there's only one branch atm
is ravager bugged for anyone else? I throw it out and it just dissapears and does no damage
wouldn't be surprised if a lot of shit is bugged tbh, but I haven't had a chance to check yet
did dreadnaught get nerfed too with the OP nerf?
yes
Guessing our output pre hero talents feeling rought after the tune up of the last few weeks.
Arms has been really strong throughout pre-patch
but this tuning was largely for L80, pre-patch is practically over at this point
ravager is a cosmetic spell now, just enjoy the 0.1s of beauty
yea my ravager disappearing too but i think the output still there
I mean just dont run rav lol
unhinged seems to be working but I dont see any damage from ravager itself
for sure we were super tuned....I just hope Arms to competent mid pack...and fury isn't so far ahead my guild is like "But why mista?"
rip ravager
thats a very nice glitch wonder how long we will have to deal with it.
season 2
idk but rip i guess i raid fury
im not bladestorming in raid 😠
oh fuck it doesnt matter
fml
im going to really miss this
not paying for repairs the entire expansion almost was amazing
didnt seem like it hit us too hard
how hard does fatality usually hit for you folks
that means nothing its damage is directly proportional to how long it took you to proc it
and since you dont play ToM anymore the only that can actually change how much damage it deals are pots or ebon might
and just now im realising you dont play fatality any more at all when i went to check my logs 

I mean meh it isnt 700k anymore but its still something
the item upgraders are broken?
maybe it was just elvui causing glitches
well, we might this week while Ravager is broken 
but yeah, Fatality is down bad because it doesn't benefit from the (currently huge) spec scaling aura or mastery
so that's like 60-70% damage its missing right off the bat
can they at least fix the Glyph of TC for Arms and Fury?
i left evoker for this muahahaha
is this the shmove
not really much else to take
though if they don't update some addons pretty quick, my move is just gonna be to sit 
I haven’t been keeping up with anything, but did our rage generation take a hit or did my week off just tint my memory with rose colored glasses
Yes, there was a number of changes which resulted in lower Rage Generation with prepatch recently. Most notably, within Execute it's quite easy to run out of resources now.
Yeah they fixed it a few mins ago; I just mentioned it in #updates-midnight
🫡
Why they make it so charge goes on cooldown until you land when you leap
This needs to be fixed
hey sorry to ask this, but whats the rotation for opener on single target? Rend, Mortal, TR, Skull, CS+Avatar, Ravager?
also, is it normal for ravager to be doing this
at 528 ilvl
i dont remember it being so week
?
any1 miss being venthyr and having condemn ?
lol a keeblio, then a keeb
haha
oh its doug now
@opaque hinge why did you delete your comment lol
venthjyr was vampires actually not demon lol
🤔

Demon Vampires
denathrius turbo based fight
Ah I had it backwards, the dreadlords were created by the vampires
slash them, slice them, vivisect them
You will crawl to me on your knees.
thats what colossus is telling me
i have to Demolish is a 2 second channel, and the Warrior is unable to move or use other abilities while channeling, similar to Eye Beam. A Colossus player will have to think tactically about when and where is optimal to use it. This is an intentional part of the flavor of the ability.
did they do something to arms rage generation between last week and this one? it feels awful today
No it’s been awful since prepatch
Rav isn’t designed to be too strong
You have to consider the interaction with unhinged
it felt basically the same as before but today im sitting waiting for Aa's so it seemed different
maybe, i was sitting at about 44% unbuffed though
waiting for aas in execute or
just in general, maybe i was slamming too hard but i was just getting blasted by a fury warrior in St and AOE when last week it wasnt even close. i know we got nerfed and they didnt but still
i guess yeah
rage starving can happen
when u are unlucky with tactician
u can always charge weave 
spending rage has a chance to refund a charge of overpower
i know i know, im saying it almost never resets for me
maybe i just was screwing myself because i was using exhil blows and not SS in m+?
idk
it felt weird
sks*
exhil blows feels good but its giga mid
sks helps for sure
and exhil blows
drains ur rage bar
very fast
with back to back ms procs
ill give that a try. i was trying the prio damage build
idk if its possible to get more prio than this
this is a tww build tho idk how it plays without colossus
i played exhil blows
instead of massacre
cause i enjoy exhil blows
and its prepatch no one cares
but massacre is massive
you can drop massacre/sks for bonegrinder
if u dislike sks playstyle but i recommend getting used to it
with uproar its stupid how strong it is
i like sks for raiding, i havent used it in M+ yet
so it should be an weasily include
yeah it just kinda
bloats ur opener a lot
cause u play blunt insturments so u need SS for both CS adn SKS
a lot of setup
for nothing
but its still the most optimal
massacre is bad
pick bonegrinder over it always
other than that thats a great build and what i use on live as well
i cba finding it rn u can sim it but massacre is a massive increase on st/prio
sorry this got missed. The current opener is static, but kinda long:
Charge -> Fyralath -> Rend -> Roar -> Ravager -> Avatar+CS+Pot/Trinket/Racials -> MS -> SkS -> [drop into rotation]
while being a small loss on aoe
but this was pre nerfs
maybe something changed
and as colossus
as colossus
5t vs st
most random nerf ever
it just cursed us
with only pressing ms with 2 tierset
stacks
its for with hero talents so it doesnt really matter rn
its giga cursed
but its pretty sizable atm
now we'll only do the damage of 1.5 outlaw rogues instead of 2 
u get around 3 cleaves in mbg
3-4
massacre doesnt really have any real value its just mbg being weak
and being useless on st
apart from maybe collateral if there is some cleaving and u get to stack it
yeah but
when this happens on 35%
cant compete
when u stack colossal might in 7 globals
massacre is weak in aoe i agree
but its so strong on st
i mean for a single point it aint bad but it aint good either i agree
u dont get to really press exe
no critical thinking
it eats ur rage bar
it sucks
cause their solution for fixing our rage in execute
i just wasnt thinking about beta and how it works with colossus bc i dont have it
is to increase execute rage refund and gatekeep it behind 2 points
if anything colossus wants more cleaving than not but idk i didnt sim prepatch
me when no juggernaut execute
peak gameplay i must say
Man I was considering switching to arms for the first time but seeing all this opened my eyes to how shit this looks
Imagine
If they made execute hit really hard
And gave us SL rage economy
Sheeeeeeesh
unless im doing something terribly wrong, why is overpower like 7th on damage in the breakdowns now
basically if they gave us
sl arms
9.1 best post legion iteration
yeah 20% kinda hurts
Call me weird but I enjoyed having to manage rage
i just think its weird to see overpower below rend dot damage on St bosses when i OP 40 times and apply rent 8
rend*
same
thats the entire point of the spec imo
in single target, Overpower should be roughly equal to DW/Ravager/Roar (pretty close, at least, it shouldn't be wildly below them)
im fine with managing rage as long as I have buttons to press
im im standing afk waiting then its gg
if charge wasnt super aids on certain enemies id be fine with it
but its so hard to not lose auto attacks and charge weave sometimes
bc hitboxes
Considering the mental gymnastics charge does on it's own...
I really don't went to charge weave 
Any 90 degree angle charge enjoyers
good times
temple of thr jade serpent bricked s1
almost perfect class balance but had cos sbg and temple
like come on man
and thundering lol
fuck man that season couldve been so good
early s2 was really good too
90 degree angle? charge kept attempting to mimic a sound wave in s3
Dude thatt shit literally pulled the second pack of the last few pulls between sha
That crap was SO bad
I kept getting a funny charge bug on Fyrakk prog where I would charge right as he lands from intermission and I would shoot 20 yrds past him and almost off the platform
i had one in Neltharus on the blacksmith boss that ran me out to the edge and pulled the pat and back in to the boss 😐
fire trail and everything
🙂
Look
Charge going halfway across the universe away from your target is just part of the class fantasy 
na that shit don't even go halfway across the universe
Charge literally Task manager ends wow, pulls up any other game on your comp, and then relaunches wow at your current target
signet brand isn't that great for random dungeons and levelling right?
If you can chain pull so that it never resets its goatered
Otherwise just use one of the stat sticks
In practise i imagine everything dying too fast for it to matter tho
grieftorch is always useful too, but I bought that first
grieftorch pretty meh for warrior
grats kyle ^^
cross server guilds is finally letting me go back to some of my old horde chars
a tauren warrior using a totem is just good
hope u got the trading post totems to wear on ur back too XD
those ones weren't as cool
Do people play Colossus or Slayer in beta m+ runs?
it's beta so folks play both to test things.
Performance wise, Slayer is doing a bit better in all content atm.
are the sims updated with todays nerfs? Might be the odd question but not sure if raidbots sim apis are taking this into account.
with the nerfs to MS and OP wouldnt fury be closer in ST (even without the S3 Tier set )
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jAjKCe2mM8dsqKo8YFS5cW
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bown8Rmcha5rTvW4riDt9r
i just ran them
If you want up-to-date sims you have to run with an up-to-date build, you are running weekly, running Latest will give you the correct result
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3GNxXshaQiWDAoNqezc68Y
for a bit of context the way simc works is it pulls spell data from files and determines the amount of damage a spell should do for example by directly referencing that data. As long as a nerf is indicated in spell data it's automatically applied to raidbots, as any change in spell data triggers a rebuild of the simc build for raidbots. Of course this only works for builds after the spell data changes. The Weekly build from monday obviously didn't have them yet as the spell data change wasn't applied to live servers.
@swift crown balls
@halcyon breach big balls
Is this rly with the nerfs ? I did latest build
Not smort enough to figure it out myself
Sorry if this is a stupid question but shouldn't we cast Thunderous Roar after Colossus Smash so the initial hit benefits from the 30% damage increase?
Just cause the Wowhead guide has Thunderous Roar ahead of Smash on the prio
build time is the same so it should be in
Dang.. arm still fuck good lol
My last fury dim didnt even break 500k.. not turbo optimized but like, its still quite far off.
Yea the OP nerf at least definitely seems to be present in spell data (AP coefficient 1.54->1.23)
Initial damage of Troar is bad so its not worth it to use a global for it inside your CS window
ah ty
dumb question, i am following the wow head rotation(s) for arms and wanted to know why Mortal Strikes comes before Overpower, when you can get more damage output if you use Overpower (increases damage of your next mortal strike) before Mortal Strikes. Is it because you get somehow more dps with that rotation from wow head ?
In a ingame situation you will be going 3 globals between each MS which means that you will naturally get 1 or 2 OP buffs on it before the nxt one
and it deals the most damage out of our rotational abilites so pushing it as often as possible outside of execute is the goal of the spec
Yeah, overpower stacks are nice, but mortal strike slaps, so you always hit it when you can
I'm getting a crap ton of error messages 😦
with the OP and MS nerfs in arms feels way eaker then it did last week without hero talents
thats for sure
Well, pve nerfs are obvious this week. Supposedly we got some pvp damage back though I'm yet to test it this evening
9 days till tww early access, no point in getting angry about the nerfs anymore
Getting to the point where it just is what it is.
@thick kelp@tropic umbra thanks !
Np
damage wise. is arms as strong as fury in keys?
Our main skill just got 15% nerf
Overlord
Tbf numbers are pretty good overall vs the average. Just there are some outliers still ahead of most classes but we also have thane that's just 30% behind other classes om average
the fish with glasses is back 🫢
Hc/mythic week tuning should hopefully bring us up if we need buffs. Though thane actually just needs help for St at this point
Thane scary
Intervene from thane has the same bs power as anti magic shell
Time to be a chad and babysit your shamans in raid

i feel like thane is going to get crazy sneak buffs, but it might also fall into the fury pitfall
where ST is aoe
and it just stays kinda mid on both
They need to buff the hero trees monstrously sorta like they did for slayer so it doesn't buff slayer as a trade off
prot could also use some juice
yeah its really rough even when i was testing it
Prot warriors gonna catch up on St at this rate
it also has a uniquely weird issue where you press CDs and half your fucking bars light up
the spec just feels akward
Ra moment
Have you cleared m4s Mad Oxman
What's the best tinket setup for m+ where no one is running WII or OCE?
Is icon worth it if just the healer is wearing it in a dungeon group?
Yes
Hey i am thinking of starting up an Arms Warrior (i was also looking into 2h Frost DK) but idk which will have easier time progressing to end game for TWW PvE ?
Depends what end game is for you
Like doing open world/pve contents and trying to raid and m+ but as casual
Then whichever one is more fun for you
Level up both to 80, try them out and decide on that
idk i rather focus on 1 though not fan of alts
Try them both on beta then, if you have access
you can level up or go straight to dungeons
from what I have heard about FDK they seem to be leaning heavily into DW even for oblit builds
But their hero talents are miles ahead of warriors in terms fun and theme IMO
Dont have access to beta or the game atm
Go look at some youtube or streams of those specs then but keep in mind most if not all FDK gameplay will be DW and not 2H
I started a survival hunter as alt.
It is really fun to play.
- It is melee
- It has alot of abilities that helps u dodge/move out of shit in raids or M+
- Quite good dps also
- Has some range which is not found in warriors
I'm also deaf so asking stream wont help 😭
Well you can just watch them for the gameplay and there is like 90000 "What is best/most fun" hero spec yt vids to look at that might possibly have some subtitles
idk i been trying to decide past 3 days and hard even i have carpal tunnel syndrome if i didnt i would gone fury
If you are thinking about that, you might concider going a caster
Well frost and arms arent exactly the best specs to play with carpal tunnel
A caster would be much healthier for that
I played casters last 3 expansion and ended up not liking them even quitted Dev Evoker
Fair, but ye - most melee got the same APM load. Some exceptions being things that press a lot of off GCDs, aka tanks.
Slowest, well, more forgiving to play with lower APM, would prob be UDK?
I wouldnt call even UDK slow
Yeah, why I used the word forgiving
Maybe assa rogue since they have to pool their energy etc
True, locked GCD at 1 too
even ww isnt that slow anymore since they get haste scaling now
Rogue get haste scaled GCD now? Never knew
is fury better than arms in live ?
Yes and no, depends - Fury is more fun tho 
I seen slayer fury is super strong
But idk cause atm dont have TWW or a sub yet (getting paid this weekend)
Sorry
Don't get used to the extra range. Every melee spec is losing bonus range in TWW.
Definitely gonna be a caster season. Loads of mechanics that force you off of bosses/packs.
So Dev Evoker be easier/safest to play then or desto warlock ?
In my opinion casters are always easier to play. Can't be forced off of a boss if you can hit them from 40 yards out. Don't get me wrong though melee will be viable and most look strong. It's just gonna be rough dealing with some of these dungeons.
And if you're playing evoker play an Aug. Even with the util nerfs they're pretty much mandatory in higher end content.
Really Aug Evoker ?
Yes. They are extremely strong.
they arent asking about high end content
Okay but even in mid tier keys and heroic raid augs are strong
also you cannot possibly know if aug will be strong next season
no they fucking suck with bad players
If u arent playing mythic raid top10 WR picking aug is bait
Your co players wont be good enough for you to get aug damage out
Yeah that's true
i agree that aug will almost certainly be strong for a group of players with hands
but most ppl lack hands
Sometimes I forget that everyone isn't pushing IO
But if you plan to push for CE then Aug is definitely a good option
And if your guild isn't composed of shit cans they're good in heroic raid as well.

If u arent in liquid, echo or method most likely oyur guild is composed of shit cans
Cuz I know im a shit can
I consider anything over an 80 good tbh
Myself and a few others consistently parse in the mid 90s
Sorry but you don't have to a top parser to be good
If someone is better than 80% of the people that play their spec then yes I consider them good
optimist mindset
a lot of bosses parses are just complete degenerate pad as well
what about pink or orange
😦
nvm my diurna parse from fated is safe
I'm just looking at this from a realistic average player standpoint. We don't push world first so I don't need 8 people parsing in top 10 to clear.
Yeah forsure
Purple parse shld be good enough for majority guilds considering applicants
hyped to try the colossus arms!!!
Even blues for your average late CE guild
More than enough
getting late ce is so easy the hardest part is having 20 ppl show up
Ongod
yep
In my prev guild we had lots of raid nights cancelled
Because we just didnt have people
Even with 1 social playing
And it was wr800-900
In my old guild we stopped at smolderon because two healers quit. We had gotten him to 13% the night before. I was big sadness.
So yeah I'll take a consistent blue parser over some flakey top 20 dickhead any day.
🤨
I am playing casually not hardcore gamer and want to have chill/unstressfull time playing and not getting killed
Then play literally anything
Pick what looks cool and roll with it.
but how can the sim be the same for example .
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pvFcqpscoEPLGLtrqzJ5Yq weekly 3 mins
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vFb5qGxhghu8pjbw9RiD7D Latest 3 mins
People can't parse if they don't show up 🤷
I dont see any correlance between logs and showing up
I didn't say there was one I'm not giving an example I'm saying I'd rather have someone who shows up and parses blue than someone who misses every other week but parses high when they do show up
Higher correlation between parsing high and showing up100% than parsing blue and showing up100%
Ye
i parse blue and also dont show up
Logically thinking the parse blue guy is skipping alot of days and only shows up70% and thats the reason he parses blue
Stop parsing and just dont show up
5head
good idea

Reroll every week and complain when you don't get funneled
It was a joke
That the issue can't decide due to complication and learning difficuties
what
The amount of dmg I do on live Single target vs fury ST is disgusting
? live vs beta or what did you mean
Current live server.
I went back and forth on some bosses and average dps was nearly 120k higher.
Average
Well I can't pick for you but you said you were interested in Dev evoker yeah? It isn't a hard spec and if you decide to do harder content you could reroll Aug so it probably isn't a terrible spec to play.
Ahhh easier than Warlock (Desto/Demo) ?
destro pretty easy too
not sure about demo
but deva evoker is surely one of the easier damage specs to play casually imo
very little buttons
for your rotation
to optimize it, its a bit more difficult and in depth
I am willing to put some effort/time into it
Thanks mate
o7
oh shit I accidentally deleted my main warrior because I wasn't careful when deleting my low level twinks and all this so shortly before the release of tww
It was for the best
u know character restoration exists
Isnt it disabled
is disabled
Ticket a gm maybe save it
i did and the answer was i should use the self restoration service, but it is disabled and the support can't restore characters.
Rip
yea
Character restoration should unlock again so not all is lost
i hope before tww release
fingers crossed, they're usually pretty good about character-affecting bugs
(they want you to log in and play, afterall)
Hey guys, im coming back now and I heard that the colossus arms is very strong. can i trust?
In PVE, currently both Arms hero talents are very middle-of-the-pack, with Slayer being stronger than Colossus.
Fury currently pulls ahead of both in overalls, but Arms is still perfectly fine to play
How far ahead?
Current numbers:
highly subject to change, follow the spreadsheet
- Arms Slayer ST: ~1.43M
- Arms Colossus ST: ~1.35M
- Fury Slayer ST: ~1.46M
- Fury Thane ST: ~1.2M
damn number inflation
yeah, kinda surprised we didn't get another squish
at DF launch we were doing ~100k (ish)
glad we didn't, i need the biggest numbers. let me hit for 5 billion
hi
unlucky squish in midnight
We need number squish...
Ew I’d rather do 4 digit dps and 5 digit Crits
1 morbillion MS in 11.2
remember
1 purpillion dps
boutta draw myself at the top of the dps meter
legend has it that if you play arms you just get 1st place dps
ion himself gives you a trophy for it
instructions unclear: i'm rage starving myself in execute

sure is a legend after the nerf 
Good evening
Spin my beloved
So, i was trying out arms and I was finding outside of execute, I couldnt spend rage fast enough and in execute I was starved. Am I just bad?
youre probably doing something wrong before execute
but in execute yeah youre turbo starved
slam is the filler now right? And it only uses 20 rage.
yes
i'm sitting there begging for tactician procs half the time.
in ST, its just a few times during ravager.
In M+ it was quite often.
lucky tactician proc
it can happen
with skyfury
also idk his talents maybe he is playing blord
with blord its very easy
I only really see content from fury warriors, anyone making any for arms these days?
Ravager still go poof?!
im seeing mine currently
ravager works
doin damage too
Guys, ice veins guide is uptodate?
itll usually say at the top the last time it was updated
personally i use wowhead, since Archi runs it
damn, very close
Archi writes both
take it all with a huge grain of salt, lots of things still unfinished
Arms gameplay is unfinished business


not yest
I believe in you king
Only seen intermission myself but sherly kill this week
Cool new game!?
Was talking about FF14
i beleive
i have to defeat my queen once again this week
🐝
tHiS cAt HaS nInE
Hey guys I have been away from Wow for a bit and have been playing Fury since my return, dabbled in arms last night, outside of the burst windows that seem quite frequent with Anger Management, is the general rotation MS>OP>Slam? maintain Rend and use SkS on CD? then Roar, Rav, CS, Avatar, am i missing something?
thats it
the aim of slam is to rest OP yeah?
among other things sure but also just general filler dmg button
KK I feel so rusty, caught myself button watching, and it was baaaad. lol
IS EVERYONE HAVING A GOOD TIME 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
nothing else to press
Hahaha that is true, i know they wanted to slow it down, it doesn't feel like that have, outside of execute, which feels just as fast until you have to wait for rage which feels bad, guess its a hard thin to balance.
i found @visual fern

bälle
any war beta streamer?
jeventes
can u believe I didn’t get role
smh my head die xan
holemolee
thats toxic
sl was good
downside was execute phase didnt feel like an execute phase but
whenever u did press exe
it fucking trucked
id rather have that
than an ability that does
from 300k to 6 mil
yeah, we have a significant amount of buffs/modifiers slathered on
Talent to give MS a 100% crit when
So is arms still the best for M+ right now
i checked the pins and i saw arms has higer top end but idk if that for raid or M+ or both
TWW
fury prob better in tww m+
at the moment. tuning is still happening
bet thanks
I thought at one point they made it so Battlelord reset cleave
Am I going insane or was that a thing at some point
2023 post
i doubt its gonna change honestly
unless they giga buff arms
fury has a better damage profile, defensives and loses less st for going aoe in m+
ye and even if they buff arms, fury is just wayyy tankier. especially after the seasoned soldier nerf(yes i know all avoidance passives got nerfed)
not to mention fury can take endurance training
for arms its way too big of a loss
and arms needs it more
its comical
where they put that talent
how can fury take endurance training? it's still in the last part of talents. requires 20 points
drop both wild strikes
fury "can" get away with dropping wild strikes
arms cant
its still a sizable dps loss
but arms loses way too much
ye ig, the aa attack speed is big for arms
obviously u will drop it for endurance training if u need to as arms its just that fury has an easier time
yeye, fury doesn't rely on it for rage gen
L arms
How's our survivability compared to like, ret. I know probs not as much because no heal and bop and stuff, but yeah
idk still good
spell reflect strong
die by the sword cool
can get ignore pain too but maybe more troll now
cuz can slam
we do have a heal on a CD, which isn't as good as WoG/FoL spam, but we can survive a fair amount that usually wipes others.
Dstance is often underutilized by folks
while not exactly the best "test", we can survive that Forbidden Flounder solo, for example
it’s similar
Arms is vulnerable to rot but insane for on demand damage reduction. Not many classes can say they have on demand 15% DR... (Defensive stance is strong as Hell)
Sucks that all your mitigation is proactive though 
It’s def one of the worse classes for rot tbh
Most specs have some random button to beat rot except arms
But arms is fine for rot if you take fvb
Ye
Or just spam ip for rot
Wouldn’t call it best but after playing mage there are definitely worse classes for rot
i gotta ask
how much loss was the ms
nerf
we doing a 2 x boost for fyrakk mount tonight and i need to know fury or arms
legit doesnt matter either way
Arms is just fine
arms might be op but fury just plays better 
although arms nerfed now so no reason to play that over fury
yeah so arms and fury are equal ?
but fury has that as well
Fury has everything you can ask for defensive wise and then some. Arms is stacked but pretty much nothing compares to fury so 
fury doesnt have an actual execute compared to arms
as cringe as it plays if it does the most damage in p3 out of anyone
it has value
The discussion was purely about defensives. Atleast from my part 🙃
Arms execute dmg has allways been a niche yeah. And it's a good one to have for sure. Fyrakk progression comes to mind defensive wise. P1 was night and Day difference for arms and Fury (this is S3). You were panic mode with 10 dot stacks as arms and kinda chilling at 15stacks as Fury still.
Ofc. The correct play is just blame The healers but still. There was a noticable difference
or brick up
If I would ever have consistently lots of stacks (not one-time thing because it happened, whatever) I’d just yell at my healers
Just doef it
dorf
I can feel it on retail the nerfs 😮 OP and MS feels really bad now wtf
for real ?:S i have to raid as arms tonight
coz i dont have season 3 for my fury build
no it feels the exact same lol
anyone here rolling an earthen when it unlocks?
Bro just raid arms then. If you play well you will most likely still top the meters - just not by 20% to number two (or hunter) anymore.
haha
P3 dm on fyrakk yesterday... After nerfs
Arms also still sims 35k above fury for me so i dno...

Chief, Whats your fury 5min st sim at ? I know u optimized it 😘
i actually did not

didnt even sim full st talents yet in prepatch
i just found that using my old crit haste crafted stuff for both arms and fury wasn't okay anymore so i had some vers mast ones made instead and thats pretty much all i changed
Hmm. No more recrafts 😄
i've also hardly played live prepatch tbf, just beta and other games
havent in a 3 weeks its been nice 
Been a blessing with puppy, exams and internship starting up along with PoE addiction. I’ve been so fucking busy
My guys not been keeping up much how is arms looking
Looks 15% less dmg than last week, but still solid
its not 15% less damage its 15% less ont wo abilities
looking fine, middle of the pack overall. People have complaints as always, but we'll be just dandy.
warrior is pretty much always average or a little above averagfe
it is very, VERY rarely bad/really really good
Just pretend castle nathria didn’t exist
if cn didnt exist has warrior ever been truly bad for a tier
i didnt play before bfa s2 besides turbo casual questing in western plaguelands type shit
Cool I just prefer arms to fury looking forward to coming back
what do u mean my being dandy?
sorry, it's a turn of phrase meaning "we'll be acceptable to play without too much worry"
nice... i hope so! ❤️
Is arms' perfomance overall worse than fury's in m+ after the latest patch?
Yes
a little bit
arms is still good though
its aoe is untouched just worse prio damage and st which was very very high to begin with
we play CS so prio dmg is peak
Got nerfed yesterday
yup arms is dead now
you have to reroll furry or delete your character
just how it is

Guys 1 quick question pls. On retail when do we use execute? To empower mortal strike?
yea basically
ms once 2 stacks, exe if u can and then op if u cannot
in ravager just spam execute
Thanks

I thought you only MS if there’s 2 stacks of execute AND 2 stacks of OP
thats from 2 seasons ago
oh Max did an interview with Morgan I wonder if he asked about parry again
no parry, but crests reduction for alts 👍
yeah I saw that
(30%)
pretty big
Yeah I think a heftyer discount would be better because you potentially will already have the gear for the character thanks to warbound gear dropping on ur main so you are just really gated to crest farming
not sure cause i wasn't fully paying attention to the interview, guildie said that there is a warband bonus as well for raid drops and such
can't confirm or deny cause sub only vod 👍
we've known that since blizzcon
lower level pieces of gear will drop from stuff you do thats warbound
your guildie is wrong then
kk
there are no additional crests like that afaik, na
go to youtube if you want to replay

I really don't understand their obsession with parry on raid bosses when they removed it from M+ entirely
gotta justify that RPG tag 👍
can i ask someone to look at my log here
can you go look at mine ther e 🙂
not the one to ask
tossed some small things in there 👍
I have hard time keeping my hp above 90% in higher+
probably should switch out the mastery craft?
pretty sure it doesnt work with that
hows arm in tww cause tired of being caster and looking to low apm melee class
expansion hasnt come out yet
cant see why it wouldnt
increases your armor by 10%
and armored to the teeth just takes your armor * 10%
im pretty sure its specifically made to not work with the talent
Arms has a fairly decent APM (we use most of our GCDs). We're currently sitting roughly in the middle of the pack, but as others have mentioned it's all subject to change still, so we can't say with 100% certainty how things will shake out.
Ahh
Man...
mages are babies now... that their dps isn't where it used to be
their egos don't match their dps anymore
"the tank doesn't recognize when dps has cds. I don't need this key. bye"
bruh... heal was dead.
sorry venting 😦
ty i needed one
that was right before HOI last boss... lol
still had like 5 minutes left on +15
You died to wave / into / I was typing

Someone give that mage a hug tho. Ego so bruised he gotta be hurtin' irl.
Long short of it is "I know I am playing badly now, but its justified cause I supposedly have other characters that are 3k rated toons"
Like I dont care, your not on those other characters are you? 🤣
if the vibes are off i just mute em ngl
bro that mage is ass if its the one im thinking of
not sure if it was needles or spelled like that cant remember
IO is just a participation award, the real score is the fwiends you make 
holy shit the mage has colossus smash
why is bloodletting not working on remix for me at least
havent noticed/played live
not applying rend in execute phase
things hit execute phase on remix?
when youre in this group... yes
slam good
do yall stack on vers for higher M+?
i mean prolly dont like full send into it but getting it where u can sure
just like sim and eventually verse will be better
but i dont think ppl like put on pvp gear just to do m+
It has mostly been trinket changes the higher you go
Or in SL it was dropping ilvl/wanted stats for avoidance lol
U prob want a bit more versa but try to find the silver lining, getting as much vers possible while losing as little dam possible
Hi warriors, new warrior here, any one with a macro that presses thunderclap if talented but defaults to rend if thunderclap is not selected as a talent?
Sure thing, it’d be something like this:
/cast [known: Thunder clap] Thunder clap; Rend
- The “[known]” part acts as an “if” statement
- While “;” acts as the “else”, or a fallback
Why would you cast rend instead of thunderclap?
Thank you!
With the new updates you want to use natural Rend over TClap in single target
really nice of you 🙂
Always happy to help!
how so? curiosity
With the prepatch changes, TClap and Rend both cost the same Rage amount now, but Rend has a larger upfront punch to it. It’s a small dps increase, but it’s there.
The macro would make it so you don’t even have to think about it based on your talents.
Another question sorry, I'm not quite sure if we ever (never say never) use whirlwind when we have cleave talented. Do we?
So fun fact: you can’t!
Cleave now replaces Whirlwind as an ability (if talented)
You’re totally fine haha, it’s a fresh change and unexpected
You start playing tank trinkets at the highest keys
you belong in jail
Does cleave hit harder than slam for ST If you play The "m+" builds that run cleave
no but it keeps up the buff
Or is slam still better ST Button for bosses and what not
from tier
so id say if u have NO op no ms rdy id prob just use it to keep buff up
but in gen u will slam if buff is up
in all my time as arms warrior... slam aways felt wack to press.... i lie, on bfa season 4 there was an azerite trait that you could stack that was cruushing assault... that would give us an smoll chance to slam to proc but it deals tons of dam (and you could stack 3x, so slam was hittin massive, okish on pvp... but low proc rate)
slam need some love... idk every 5th slam shall be 3x its dam (critable)... or every criteed slam restore ms cd and next ms cost no rage
Hey guys, what hero talents spec will you play in raid? I'm not sure actually tbh
Keep in mind Cleave casts slam if you have Fervor of Battle
does more damage in 1t or 2t with ss active
slam is better and you dont wanna consume your martial prowess buff on cleave instead of ms
so you should never be pressing cleave on st
only if cleave hits 3+ targets
Oh I thought he was asking for prio damage in m+ I misunderstood
In aoe when do we press mortal striker and when do we cleave ?
They changed it to 2
@frigid lava This was always true.^ The reason you did TC before was because arms had unlimited rage, TC was more rage than rend which played in with anger management and contributed to ToM more (the latter we are no longer running)
try classic cata if you haven't, Actually feels like slamming. hits as hard/harder? than MS minus the perks of MS(crit bleeds/procs) so you still MS as prio but slam feels/felt really good. OP shares the blame now, hits way harder than it did, too much imho for a spell that costs no rage.
Arms used to be the slower spec (now debatedly as fast as fury) where rage management was your primary focus. I want to slam but should I? TWW feels better but it's still pretty hard to int yourself spending too much rage compared to some previous iterations
SL was neat
SL was one of the better ones
Does anyone use SS to buff up cleave even in ST?
collateral damage + cleave absolutely wrecks even in ST
collat needs two targets
ms over cleave if there is 1 big prio target, still use cleave but ms will be higher prio
cleave over ms if everything is pretty equal in hp
did anyone do archmage xylem mage tower on prepatch?
i am really struggling, Bladestorm has no Cdr anymore so the last phase is pretty rough killing the adds in time
Thanks
pinned
thank you
Here you go:
/cast [stance:2]Defensive Stance; [spec:1/3,stance:0/1]Battle Stance; [spec:2,stance:0/1]Berserker Stance;
Dynamically switches to what you need
They are just zeroing out the spec auras
seems like they're just reseting the Aura to 0%
So they removed the aura and buffed all the abilities by that amount baseline
are we saved?
no man, its over 
booooog
we so saved, it's definitly over
hmm, they buffed some skills but removed a 43% aura buff?
yeap
ohh i didnt noticed the 43%
massiv nerf?
It’s practically unchanged
love scaling late at night
what does it change actually ?
net 0 basically
hotfix is just a Fatal Mark buff
slight nerfs hidden in there along with some minor buffs
fatal mark still dead im afraid
but if they cancel aura and buff some techniques, we'll be able to scale more?
its mainly a joke
No
yes you now go paladin
i was hyped and exited for an second xD
I am trying to get hyped for TWW
same
but its kinda hard
You can, just play frost dk
new talents are not so new tbh
Is Skullsplitter a boring ability, asking for a friend
yea
I will tell him to play Fury thx
how are the new hero abilities feeling?
great imho except demolish

Idk I think I'm pretty content at where we are compared to DF
Seems like blizzard doesnt have any devs on warrior class lol
Sounds about right yeah.
Has there been any news on which week catalyst kicks in?
So, what's the verdict on those changes? lol
net neutral
tldr: we went from a 43% Aura buff to 0% aura buff. The missing 43% was then applied into our abilities instead.
Essentially nothing changed.


every raid for atlest 3 members on every boss?
